Anyone know much about USB Memory sticks?

[Steelie]

Some good deals at Play.com. The price is coming down almost weekly now. I got a 4gb sandisk one from amazon a few weeks back for about £14 I think

You can get an 8gb for a few quid more.

As Bruno suggests, I wouldn't spend more than £20

Gamo..

Newegg.com - Computer Parts, PC Components, Laptop Computers, Digital Cameras and more! is where i get all my computer stuff from.. I build PC's as a side type of thing i guess you can say, and i get almost all of my hardware from that site.. best prices..

as far as quality goes, it doesn't really matter.. it's a simple storage device, and you can't really get a "bad" quality one.. It all comes down to what size you want, that's the only decision you really need to make.. if you're using it just for word documents and school stuff, you'd be more than fine with a 1gb drive..

On another note I don't own one of these, nor do i see the "need" for them.. I mean, everyone in my group in one of my computer classes use them, but it's almost not needed.. Anytime I need to transfer a document from my house to a school computer, i just e-mail it to myself.. This method is MORE reliable because you can't physically lose the file, where you can physically lose your jump drive.. or it could break if you drop it or step on it or something.. So then you may say, what if you are transferring large files? Well i leave that up to my external hard drive.. Cheap to purchase and hold 75-100 gb for a decent price..

but hey, that's just me.. if i'm formatting a hard drive for someone, and have to reinstall windows and virus protection for them, i just use the external hard drive, but if i had to do that everyday, i'd prob use a flash drive as it's smaller.. ALL depends on what you're doing my friend.

I bought an 8gb Scandisk Cruzer one was about 70 quid - was worth it for the extra but could have got it cheaper off net. Unfortunately had to buy it quickly one Sunday and Argos was only place open

Keep films on it and music (old man's car takes USB so handy for that when using it) also good for copying a film at work if one of lads has it on a hard drive then I just plug and play it through the PS3

There's this one at staples at moment - seems pretty cheap to me

USB are great cuz of there size and capacity. You can carry them in your pocket like nothing. Go ahead and buy one. There worth it

SVP: DVD-R & CDR - Blank Media: Reviews and Advice is where I buy all my stuff from, made easier for me as I'm only a few miles from them so can pick up and save on postage.

They have 8gb versions for under £20

I'm not sure which one to invest in. I'm looking for a dcent size,not too big and not too expensive either. I've tried tlooking but there are SOOOO many around and so many different prices too. Any help=reps.

Gamo get one they are worth the investment.
Like Saddo said it depends what you need it for to determine what size you'll want to get. A 2 gb is a good size for documents, pics and small videos that sort of stuff.

If your also looking to maybe transfer some fights into it along with other stuff then a 4 or 8 gb would be good for you.
I have an 8 and I have documents and I add 2 or 3 fights so when I'm at work I can have something to see whe I've got time.

RP33, I didn't know you were PC savy...

I just bought what I consider a beauty of a PC and would like to hear your opinion on it. Whe I've got some time I'll post the info. on it.
